While it is true that the updated Remington 7600 was introduced in 1981, the year of the film's production, it is unlikely that it was the new gun, since the firearm is not seen in any close-up shots so it is unlikely that it was a hero gun, and it was too new for a film appearance, so it is more likely that this is the older Remington 760.
